Holes DK-RC-004 and DK-RC- 005 were\ndrilled to test a coincidental soil geochemical and geophysical\nanomaly proximal to a small orpaillage hosted in volcanic and\nsedimentary rocks in the west central portion of the permit.  Drill\nholes DK-RC-006 through DK-RC-017 were drilled to test the depth\nextensions of higher-grade gold values obtained in rock samples from a\nlarge orpaillage located in the northeast corner of the permit.  This\nzone consists of interbedded volcanic and sedimentary rocks with\nquartz veins occurring at or proximal to the lithologic contacts.\n Finally holes DK-RC-018 through DK-RC-022 were drilled to test a\ncoincidental soil geochemical and geophysical anomaly proximal to an\norpaillage located near the village of Tema in the east central area\nof the permit.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n In the course of\nsampling and logging the RC chips, Company geologists’ hand panned\nportions of the   retrieved material to aid in identifying and\ndescribing the sulfide content of the material being tested.  In the\ncourse of this pann...
